Though a savage he can trace his an
cestry back to the time of Queen Eliza
beth through line of eighteen kings
of Uganda. He has an army of $4,000
men and has over 1900 muskets and
plenty of ammunition which he obtains
from Zanzibar traders. Missionaries
have lived for several years in Uganda in
good health and they say the country is
very fertile and salubrious.
The sun of prosperity seemed to have
risen upon the Episcopal and Catholic
missions in Uganda when King Mtesa
died two years and a-half ago. Many
converts had been baptized, and among
them the sister of the boy who was now
made king. The chapels and schools
were thronged. Mr.. Mackay wrote to
England to have women workers sent to
Uganda to labor in the harems of the
great chiefs. The young king was
friendly. He asked Mr.. O'Flaherty to
send to England for six more mission
aries to live at Rubaga, his chief town.
He said he intended to abandon the saw
age life and practices of his fathers, and
to show that he meant what he said, he
forbade the carrying out of horrid
crime that always marked the accession
of new king.
When Spoke visited Uganda he saw a
number of fine-looking young men walk
ing about in chains. He was told that

behind me seemed somewhat surprised, and
after few seconds hesitation turned back to
the house. Just as I hitched my horse to

once resolved to make war on all the
whites. AS soon as the unsuspecting
bishop reached the borders of Uganda he
was shot and the fifty helpless porters
with him were speared to death. 1t was
not till then that Mwanga determined to
kill all the native Christians and destroy
all the work that the missionaries had
done in six years.
Most of the Kings atrocities were
crowded into the first six months of last
year. One day he called one of his pages
to him. He knew the lad was Christian.
Can you read p he asked. "Yes," the
boy boldly replied. "Tll teach you to
read,' cried his majesty, and Selling a
spear head he gashed and hacked the head
of his faithful servant until he was tired,
and then babe chief continue the lesson.
"Pll have no readers in my court"
shouted the King. Thereupon he had
fifty of his pages brought before him.
He suspected that they were Christians
and over forty of them boldly avowed
their new faith. Not single convert
to save his life. The annals of martyr
dom show no finer examples of heroic
fOrtitude and mistaken faith than these
Uganda massacres present. All these
Christian boys were shockingly mutilated
and then were tied to trees, fuel was
piled high around them and they were
burned alive.
Then seventy of the leading native

led in chains to the King and met their
fate at the stake. The executioners
were amazed at the calm demeanor of
the victims While dying they sang
sacred songs and prayed for their muir
derers. The head executioneer went
back to the King and told him he had
never seen men die so bravely. They en-
dured pain without a murmur and prayed
to God in the fire. The King and the
chiefs around him laughed heartily when
told of the dying prayers of the victims.
The young monarch remarked that God
did not seem able to rescue the Christians
from his power.
The executioners appeared before the
hut of member Of the Protestant
Church Council to arrest him, but were
afraid to enter. "Do not be afraid that I
will shoot you," cried the Christian.
Come in and take me-" He was led
bound before the King. "Can you
read?" he asked the boy eyes," was the
answer. take him and roast him, was
the grim sentence. Another man when
ordered to death said: BE it so. am

MISSIONARY STATION. Mtesa and that
they were soon to be put to death, as
was the custom, to prevent rival claim
ants to the throne from disturbing
the country. For the first time in
ages, probably, no scenes of fratrici-
dial slaughter marked the advent of
Uganda's latest king, Mwanga. There
were high hopes that lonely Uganda
would be the centre from which would
radiate powerful civilizing influences that
would reclaim from savagery the heart of
Africa.
Two potent factors, however, were at
work to blight these hopes and to make
Uganda the theatre of great tragedy.
The first was the fact that the chiefs
who form the Kings council had never
been friendly to the missionaries because
the latter were outspoken against their
vices. They now saw the boy King
coming more and more under the in
fiuence of the white men, and they re-
solved to leave no stone unturned to
ruin the missionaries. They used every
art to persuade the King that the whites
were dangerous and ambitious men, and
that the native Christians, as soon as
they were strong enough, would help the
whites to overthrow him.
At this ill-omened moment the King
heard that the Germans were Selling
large territories in East Africa, that DIR.

startling phenomenon occurred this morning
on the farm of Mr.. Lemuel Stansbury, on
the Island, above this city About eleven
O'Clock small and intensely black cloud
suddenly appeared from the west and swept
rapidly across the island until directly over
the residence of Mr.. Stansbury, when it ex-
ploded with terrific force, and what APP
peared to be ball of wind attacked the
house with terrific fury, blowing off the roof,
tearing out one section of the house, and
playing havoc generally. Leaving the house,
it tore down the eastern fence and then died
away. There was no rainfall or lightning
with the cloud-burst. This was the only
damage reported in the vicinity"

that his life would be spared if he would
renOunce his new religion. He said he
would not, and one Of his hands was
hacked off and thrown into the flames
before his eyes. He was again asked if he
would recant, and again he refused. One
of his legs was then cut off and thrown
into the fire. Feebly the poor sufferer
spoke the words: II will die Chris
tian," and the flames soon ended his
agony.
Were such heroism and fortltude ever
surpassed among the most enlightened
nations? And yet these poor people,
three years before their frightful end,
were as savage as the men who killed
them. Their courageous deaths have
proved that the Waganda are superior
African tribe, and that in them may be
developed the best and sternest moral
qualities.
At first the converts who were still at
liberty would not give up their religious
gatherings. They would stealthily gather
at dead of night in some chosen rendez-
vous. But soon the storm of persecution
began to rage with such violence that
those who were still unscathed knew that
they must flee or take their turn at the
stake. In parties of two or three they
stole out of Rubaga and scattered through
the great woods to hide from their cruel
ruler and live as best they could on the
game they might kill and the fruits of the
forest. A cablegram from London two
weeks ago said the native Christians OF
Uganda were still in hiding.
Day by day as the massacres went on
the three English and two French mis-
sionaries at Rubaga expected to be put
to death. The King would not see the
Englishmen at all, and the French priests
were rarely admitted to his presence.
After the murders had ceased, however,
for want of more native Christians to
kill the King decided to let several of the
missionaries leave his country. They
had been for many months practically
prisoners in Rubaga The chiefs urged
the King to kill them, but he said that
all but two of them might go. Mr..
Mackay and Father Livinhac were skill
full mechanics as well as educated men,
and Mwanga decided to keep them to
build his houses and perform other
manual labor. There they still were
in November last, slaves of the King,
drudging away around the royal huts
in Rubaga. 1t is hard to say when
their day of release will come. One
reason Stanley gave for not taking the
Zanzibar route to Emin Pasha was that
in passing through or near Uganda he
would endanger the lives of these poor
men.
Mwanga has 1000 wives, quite mod
crate number considering that his royal
fathers harem contained over 1000
women. 1t is certain that better day
will some time dawn on Uganda With
all the genial and civilizing influences
d snIS are now maang way a4 Inc
of the fairest parts of Africa will be per-
manently the abode of cruelty and bar
barism. G. G. ADAMS.
